WEBVTT - Coach Wes  

0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:02.480
<v Speaker 1>All right, it's Mojoe in the Morning Show. This is

0:00:02.520 --> 0:00:04.800
<v Speaker 1>a really cool situation. And I told Shannon, this is

0:00:04.840 --> 0:00:08.200
<v Speaker 1>like reminding me of that whole Will Ferrell Mark Wahlberg

0:00:08.280 --> 0:00:10.320
<v Speaker 1>movie where it was his stepdad's or.

0:00:10.320 --> 0:00:10.840
<v Speaker 2>Something like that.

0:00:12.560 --> 0:00:13.320
<v Speaker 3>Jone. I love.

0:00:13.360 --> 0:00:15.440
<v Speaker 4>There's two of them. Yeah, I love those movies.

0:00:15.640 --> 0:00:21.400
<v Speaker 1>There's this Wes is stepping up because Smith, his step son,

0:00:22.520 --> 0:00:25.439
<v Speaker 1>is playing football and the coach quit at the last minute.

0:00:25.480 --> 0:00:25.759
<v Speaker 2>I guess.

0:00:26.200 --> 0:00:29.400
<v Speaker 5>So Smith's playing flag football, which is so fun to watch,

0:00:29.440 --> 0:00:30.880
<v Speaker 5>by the way, it's like my favorite thing to watch

0:00:30.920 --> 0:00:35.000
<v Speaker 5>that he does. And they've had his little team has

0:00:35.040 --> 0:00:37.160
<v Speaker 5>had the same coach for the last three or four

0:00:37.240 --> 0:00:40.920
<v Speaker 5>years maybe, and that coach is phenomenal, but he couldn't

0:00:40.920 --> 0:00:43.519
<v Speaker 5>do it this season because I think he's coaching baseball

0:00:43.560 --> 0:00:47.760
<v Speaker 5>and he's like swamped with doing that. And so the

0:00:48.080 --> 0:00:50.400
<v Speaker 5>organizer of this flag football league was like, we need

0:00:50.400 --> 0:00:54.960
<v Speaker 5>a coach for this team of second graders, and nobody volunteered.

0:00:55.560 --> 0:00:59.520
<v Speaker 5>Then I looked at West. I'm like, dude, you coach track.

0:00:59.840 --> 0:01:02.840
<v Speaker 5>You love coaching, and He's like, I'm I'm doing it.

0:01:03.800 --> 0:01:08.600
<v Speaker 5>So Coach Wes is now Coach Wes of the second

0:01:08.640 --> 0:01:10.120
<v Speaker 5>grade flag football Seaers.

0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:13.640
<v Speaker 2>Can I tell you how much I love that.

0:01:13.920 --> 0:01:18.520
<v Speaker 1>I love that because I know how much Wes loves

0:01:18.720 --> 0:01:21.679
<v Speaker 1>to coach. But I love that because I know how

0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:24.399
<v Speaker 1>great the relationship is that Wes has with Smith.

0:01:24.560 --> 0:01:25.760
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it'll be fun to watch it.

0:01:26.000 --> 0:01:27.160
<v Speaker 2>Is Smith excited about it?

0:01:27.200 --> 0:01:28.000
<v Speaker 4>Smith's excited?

0:01:28.760 --> 0:01:30.039
<v Speaker 2>The Smith like look.

0:01:29.920 --> 0:01:31.560
<v Speaker 1>At it as an opportunity that he's gonna get a

0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:33.119
<v Speaker 1>lot of playing time or what does he think?

0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:35.360
<v Speaker 4>Wes is not like that? Wes.

0:01:35.480 --> 0:01:37.920
<v Speaker 5>Wes is so fair because I see him coach. I'm

0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:40.039
<v Speaker 5>going to tell Wes some Samantha, and I saw him

0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:43.319
<v Speaker 5>coach Kieran, his son, and he does he pulls.

0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:45.880
<v Speaker 1>Can I no favoritism? Can I tell you something? I'm

0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:48.040
<v Speaker 1>going to tell you, Wes. If you're listening, Wes, I

0:01:48.080 --> 0:01:49.520
<v Speaker 1>want to tell you this. And I'll call him and

0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:53.200
<v Speaker 1>tell him this too. A very good friend of mine,

0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:58.240
<v Speaker 1>John b Line, you know John John Beelyin became friends

0:01:58.240 --> 0:02:00.800
<v Speaker 1>of mine. John was the coaching versus at Michigan. He

0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:03.520
<v Speaker 1>works for the Pistons now he's back at Michigan. I

0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:06.080
<v Speaker 1>was having a conversation one time with him and Tim McCormick,

0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:09.200
<v Speaker 1>who played at Michigan, and Tim McCormick coached Kellen, his

0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:09.880
<v Speaker 1>son all the year.

0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:11.040
<v Speaker 2>It's a long story, but.

0:02:12.240 --> 0:02:14.600
<v Speaker 1>I said, yeah, one of the biggest regrets I always

0:02:14.600 --> 0:02:17.160
<v Speaker 1>had as a coach was that I don't think that

0:02:17.200 --> 0:02:18.880
<v Speaker 1>I was really good to my kids. I was almost

0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:22.960
<v Speaker 1>not fair in their disadvantage. And Coach b Line said,

0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:26.040
<v Speaker 1>when you step up to coach your kids' teams, you

0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:30.239
<v Speaker 1>get the added value since you're not getting paid of

0:02:30.440 --> 0:02:33.080
<v Speaker 1>you can take care of your kids. And he actually

0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:35.799
<v Speaker 1>believed that it's your opportunity to give your kid a

0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:37.840
<v Speaker 1>little bit of special treatment. So the whole idea of

0:02:37.840 --> 0:02:41.400
<v Speaker 1>your kid always playing shortstop or pitching when you are

0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:43.720
<v Speaker 1>the coach, So make sure that he doesn't do it

0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:46.600
<v Speaker 1>the opposite way of being too fair. But also what

0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:48.639
<v Speaker 1>you know what Smith deserves it. Wes is putting the

0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:51.240
<v Speaker 1>time in. Smith deserves that, and it's his payment for

0:02:51.280 --> 0:02:51.600
<v Speaker 1>doing it.

0:02:51.720 --> 0:02:52.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:55.799
<v Speaker 4>Well, and he is such a different step dad than

0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:56.639
<v Speaker 4>he is dad.

0:02:57.160 --> 0:02:58.040
<v Speaker 2>What do you mean by that?

0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:02.600
<v Speaker 4>He just parent differently, Like he's in.

0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:06.079
<v Speaker 1>A good way softer, he's way softer.

0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:08.800
<v Speaker 2>Do his kids ever comment on that?

0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:13.240
<v Speaker 6>Oh yeah, oh yeah, how.

0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:14.280
<v Speaker 2>Was the previous coach, Like what kind of coach?

0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:17.280
<v Speaker 5>Graz honest to God, such a great I think because

0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:19.239
<v Speaker 5>he's a he's a coach as well. Like I said

0:03:19.280 --> 0:03:23.079
<v Speaker 5>to the coaches baseball, he is a middle school teacher, I think.

0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:25.480
<v Speaker 4>So he was phenomenal. And his son is still on the.

0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:29.360
<v Speaker 6>Team because some dads, so they aren't like coaches, you

0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:31.120
<v Speaker 6>know what I mean, they just step up.

0:03:31.680 --> 0:03:36.280
<v Speaker 5>They just going to have like a playbook difference, which

0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:37.280
<v Speaker 5>this other coach did too.

0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:40.440
<v Speaker 4>Like it's very it was very organized. I was impressed.

0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:43.240
<v Speaker 2>Exciting. Was Smith excited when found out?

0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:45.760
<v Speaker 5>Yes, Smith's excited. The season doesn't start for a couple

0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:46.520
<v Speaker 5>of weeks.

0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:51.280
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, I I love this. I also we were

0:03:51.320 --> 0:03:54.360
<v Speaker 1>having this conversation, uh, yesterday on the air for a

0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:56.080
<v Speaker 1>little bit, but then we talked more off the air,

0:03:56.120 --> 0:03:59.200
<v Speaker 1>all of us did about your vacation that you guys

0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:02.000
<v Speaker 1>just recently took, and just how cool it was to

0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:08.000
<v Speaker 1>see your kids and Wes's daughter just really come together

0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:12.840
<v Speaker 1>and become not step brothers or stepsister and you know,

0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:15.040
<v Speaker 1>and with stepbrother and stuff.

0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:17.479
<v Speaker 2>It was like they were like siblings. They were really

0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:18.599
<v Speaker 2>good with each other.

0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:21.840
<v Speaker 5>That's cool, which they've always they've always yeah, see them amazing,

0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:25.200
<v Speaker 5>they've always like all gotten along. But the age difference is,

0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:27.120
<v Speaker 5>like we knew from the get go, we weren't going

0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:29.760
<v Speaker 5>to try to force anybody to be dusties. Like it's

0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:32.320
<v Speaker 5>an eight year old, Lucy's gonna be twelve next week.

0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:32.760
<v Speaker 4>Holy cow?

0:04:33.040 --> 0:04:34.479
<v Speaker 5>An eight year old, a twelve year old, and an

0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:36.440
<v Speaker 5>almost seventeen year old, you know what I mean? Like

0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:38.680
<v Speaker 5>the age differences, They're all just doing their own thing.

0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:41.120
<v Speaker 1>Can I Can I say something real quick that I

0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:43.720
<v Speaker 1>think is more important than you know, West being a

0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:44.440
<v Speaker 1>great step dad.

0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:47.120
<v Speaker 2>It's fourth down and.

0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:49.800
<v Speaker 4>Five, Oh my god, I don't know you are asking

0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:51.000
<v Speaker 4>me is.

0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:54.000
<v Speaker 2>Gonna Is he gonna kick the field goal? Take the points?

0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:59.960
<v Speaker 2>Or you're going to ruin our entire season?

0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:03.960
<v Speaker 1>And by going forward on every fourth down, that's all

0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:04.640
<v Speaker 1>I care about it.

0:05:04.680 --> 0:05:07.080
<v Speaker 2>I don't want any craziness.

0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:11.400
<v Speaker 1>Dan Campbell this year doesn't start kicking field goals, Guys.

0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:14.159
<v Speaker 1>I am personally going on a mission to make sure

0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:16.599
<v Speaker 1>that Dan Campbell doesn't get to have a choice on

0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:17.200
<v Speaker 1>that anymore.

0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:18.760
<v Speaker 2>Iron West, But when he.

0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:20.640
<v Speaker 6>Doesn't kick the field goals and it goes our way,

0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:22.279
<v Speaker 6>everyone wants to praise, Yeah.

0:05:22.279 --> 0:05:25.400
<v Speaker 1>But it doesn't go our way. As much as it goes,

0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:31.280
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't go our. It screws us off where I

0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:34.560
<v Speaker 1>don't know. I feel like we're all done. So do

0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:35.520
<v Speaker 1>you step up now?

0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:36.000
<v Speaker 2>Shannon?

0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:38.080
<v Speaker 6>As like you had your mom rode, but now you

0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:38.880
<v Speaker 6>coach his wife.

0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:42.560
<v Speaker 4>I'm just sitting in my chair and sheer as loud

0:05:42.600 --> 0:05:42.880
<v Speaker 4>as I.

0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:46.040
<v Speaker 6>Do you need to bring them orange?

0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:47.680
<v Speaker 2>You gotta step up, dude.

0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:49.719
<v Speaker 5>If I brought orange slices, those kids would be like

0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:53.280
<v Speaker 5>what you gotta have? Like the snacks now, different ballgames?

0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:54.640
<v Speaker 2>What's these days?

0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:57.200
<v Speaker 5>I mean, you gotta have you gotta have some options.

0:05:57.839 --> 0:05:59.200
<v Speaker 5>There's a snack and a drink.

0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:00.320
<v Speaker 4>It's not just like.

0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:06.600
<v Speaker 1>Do you feel that since Wes is doing this now

0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:10.120
<v Speaker 1>you have to like step up a little bit more,

0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:13.200
<v Speaker 1>not with the team, but step up yourself like you

0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:16.159
<v Speaker 1>have to. You know, like anything Wes wants is West

0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:17.960
<v Speaker 1>should get Like this is actually a big deal.

0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:20.039
<v Speaker 5>I think for him to say yes to this, he

0:06:20.200 --> 0:06:21.559
<v Speaker 5>very quickly said, I'm down.

0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:22.080
<v Speaker 4>I'm in.

0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:25.799
<v Speaker 1>He's showing you that that how much he loves your

0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:27.839
<v Speaker 1>kid by doing this thing.

0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:31.120

<v Speaker 1>You talk all the time, Shannon about all the craziness

0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:36.480
<v Speaker 1>you guys have with each other, but this will be

0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:40.000
<v Speaker 1>an opportunity for you to really show him. Coaches gift

0:06:40.040 --> 0:06:41.359
<v Speaker 1>at the end of the year needs to be a

0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:41.880
<v Speaker 1>good gift.

0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:45.200
<v Speaker 2>Talk about tight end. I ever tell you the coaches

0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:45.760
<v Speaker 2>gift that I.

0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:51.039
<v Speaker 1>Got one year picture of all the moms.

0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:57.280
<v Speaker 2>They gave me a picture of all the moms be

0:06:57.320 --> 0:06:57.800
<v Speaker 2>the greatest.

0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:00.920
<v Speaker 4>So I already tell you, guys, it's really weird.

0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:02.200
<v Speaker 2>I have to tell you.

0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:04.799
<v Speaker 1>Guys, in all fairness, one of the funniest stories ever

0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:10.000
<v Speaker 1>of coaching. So we were having a conversation once with

0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:13.600
<v Speaker 1>one of Joe's basketball coaches that he had, and I

0:07:13.640 --> 0:07:15.360
<v Speaker 1>asked him a question. I said, so, let me ask

0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:19.560
<v Speaker 1>you this, what is your deciding factor when you're picking team, Like,

0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:21.280
<v Speaker 1>how do you decide? Like, if you have a kid

0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:23.520
<v Speaker 1>that's really really talented, but you have too many big

0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:26.120
<v Speaker 1>guys and you need some smaller guys, what do you do?

0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:29.040
<v Speaker 2>And he goes. Honestly, I said, yeah, he goes, I

0:07:29.080 --> 0:07:32.800
<v Speaker 2>look at the moms and he goes.

0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:35.280
<v Speaker 1>He goes, I look at the moms and I try

0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:39.160
<v Speaker 1>to decide, all right, who's got the hottest mom? Because

0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:41.120
<v Speaker 1>you're going to see the moms as much as you're

0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:44.560
<v Speaker 1>going to see the kid, And honestly, that is wrong.

0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:46.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't think it's wrong.

0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:49.600
<v Speaker 6>I guarantee you there are some dads listening at probably

0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:51.560
<v Speaker 6>have show favoritism based on the mom.

0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:56.360
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely you should have seen remembered hot dad or the coach,

0:07:56.440 --> 0:08:01.360
<v Speaker 1>the hot coach that we had Chelsea's Brandon. Yeah, Chelsea,

0:08:01.720 --> 0:08:05.720
<v Speaker 1>and you know all the other moms that were there.

0:08:06.600 --> 0:08:08.440
<v Speaker 4>Didn't we interview him on the air?

0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:10.920
<v Speaker 2>Oh, we talked about him on the air. Yeah, he

0:08:11.040 --> 0:08:11.520
<v Speaker 2>was a dad.

0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:17.400
<v Speaker 1>He was a coach that coached Luke and baseball. All

0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:19.280
<v Speaker 1>the moms had the hots form. They all thought that

0:08:19.320 --> 0:08:21.960
<v Speaker 1>he was he was a hotty, so we used to

0:08:22.000 --> 0:08:24.600
<v Speaker 1>call him hot Coach. What's going on? Actually, we used

0:08:24.600 --> 0:08:26.160
<v Speaker 1>to send him out with the scorecard at the beginning

0:08:26.200 --> 0:08:28.520
<v Speaker 1>of the game, so he had to walk up to

0:08:28.720 --> 0:08:30.760
<v Speaker 1>home plate to the umpire. So all the moms from

0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:32.040
<v Speaker 1>the other team so cracked.

0:08:32.440 --> 0:08:34.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, what you're doing? What's up, Matt? How you doing?

0:08:35.920 --> 0:08:36.800
<v Speaker 7>Hey? What's going on?

0:08:36.920 --> 0:08:39.480
<v Speaker 3>So I am a step parent as well, and I

0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:45.280
<v Speaker 3>coach my stepson's baseball team. Now, the crazy part is

0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:50.520
<v Speaker 3>we don't get along very well with my wife's ex husband,

0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:53.760
<v Speaker 3>So I feel like we I am under the scrutiny

0:08:54.040 --> 0:09:01.080
<v Speaker 3>all the time of being watched, being judged, comments and

0:09:01.240 --> 0:09:02.439
<v Speaker 3>everything that goes.

0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:06.000
<v Speaker 7>Back to my stepson. It's like, why do you do this?

0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:09.960
<v Speaker 7>Why do you do that? And it is a nightmare sometimes,

0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:13.600
<v Speaker 7>but I would not trade it for the world because

0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:17.000
<v Speaker 7>I feel like I have a huge impact on all.

0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:21.240
<v Speaker 8>Of these kids and it's phenomenal.

0:09:21.679 --> 0:09:25.679
<v Speaker 1>But but to be fair honest with you, he's a

0:09:25.720 --> 0:09:27.640
<v Speaker 1>dickhead for doing that, right you think.

0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:32.080
<v Speaker 7>I mean, you said it, not me.

0:09:33.920 --> 0:09:35.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's crazy that he's like why did he

0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:38.400
<v Speaker 2>do this? Why did he do that? You know what

0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:39.320
<v Speaker 2>I mean? Jealous?

0:09:39.360 --> 0:09:41.480
<v Speaker 3>I mean there's there's times where like I'll schedule a

0:09:41.520 --> 0:09:44.880
<v Speaker 3>practice and he's with his dad and his dad like

0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:47.320
<v Speaker 3>we're not going to practice, and I'm like, it's a

0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:50.720
<v Speaker 3>mandatory practice. You need to show up, like, and I'm

0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:54.800
<v Speaker 3>there because I love the kids. But it's like, come on, dude,

0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:57.440
<v Speaker 3>get with the program. It's not about you. It's about

0:09:57.440 --> 0:09:58.959
<v Speaker 3>the kid at this point, you know what I mean,

0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:02.280
<v Speaker 3>Stop taking your hate, take stop taking your hatred.

0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:06.400
<v Speaker 7>For me out on him. Come to practice for X,

0:10:06.520 --> 0:10:06.880
<v Speaker 7>Y or Z.

0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:09.720
<v Speaker 1>Do you if if if your step kid has like

0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:12.680
<v Speaker 1>a really amazing game. Do you give him a huge

0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:15.240
<v Speaker 1>hug and look over and this dands and go fu.

0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:20.960
<v Speaker 3>You know, there's times, because I coach stored base there's

0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:24.840
<v Speaker 3>times when he does something and I will just kind

0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:26.520
<v Speaker 3>of give him that little glance and say.

0:10:26.360 --> 0:10:30.160
<v Speaker 7>Ha, I did it. I will tell you.

0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:33.120
<v Speaker 1>This, Yeah, go ahead, No, I will say this that

0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:35.400
<v Speaker 1>it would be really hard for me, as a dad

0:10:35.440 --> 0:10:38.640
<v Speaker 1>of three boys if I was divorced from Chelsea and

0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:41.360
<v Speaker 1>her you know, new husband was coaching my kid. But

0:10:41.480 --> 0:10:43.400
<v Speaker 1>I would step up and say I want to help out,

0:10:43.520 --> 0:10:45.040
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean, instead of sitting there and

0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:46.160
<v Speaker 1>complaining about it.

0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:49.160
<v Speaker 3>You know, yeah, yeah, because that's exactly what I did.

0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:52.880
<v Speaker 3>Because my son's team originally didn't have a baseball coach,

0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:55.160
<v Speaker 3>and my my.

0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:57.280
<v Speaker 1>Stepdad always the guy that has to step up, that

0:10:57.440 --> 0:10:58.880
<v Speaker 1>jack ass needs to step.

0:10:58.679 --> 0:10:59.280
<v Speaker 2>Up, right.

0:10:59.320 --> 0:11:02.520
<v Speaker 3>So I'll tell you this. In our household, so we're

0:11:02.520 --> 0:11:05.080
<v Speaker 3>a blended family of six, so I have two to

0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:07.040
<v Speaker 3>a previous, she has three to a previous, and we

0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:09.880
<v Speaker 3>have one together. So the only steps we consider in

0:11:09.920 --> 0:11:11.880
<v Speaker 3>our house, so there are steps that go upstairs and

0:11:11.960 --> 0:11:13.640
<v Speaker 3>downstairs in our house.

0:11:15.520 --> 0:11:18.400
<v Speaker 2>So I mean, I love this guy.

0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:21.600
<v Speaker 3>Kind we kind of we kind of left it up

0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:25.120
<v Speaker 3>to our to our son to say, well, if you

0:11:25.120 --> 0:11:26.880
<v Speaker 3>want me to coach, I'll coach. If you don't, if

0:11:26.880 --> 0:11:28.240
<v Speaker 3>you want me to sit in the stands in cheer,

0:11:28.360 --> 0:11:30.560
<v Speaker 3>I'll sit in the stands in cheer. Whatever you want.

0:11:30.600 --> 0:11:32.840
<v Speaker 3>So we left it up to him and he's like, no,

0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:35.520
<v Speaker 3>will you coach? I'm like, are you sure this is

0:11:35.520 --> 0:11:38.920
<v Speaker 3>what you want? And he says yeah, So I did it,

0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:42.520
<v Speaker 3>and now I'm in my fourth season Real Quick.

0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:44.040
<v Speaker 7>I would trade it for the world.

0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:46.160
<v Speaker 1>Coach, Matt, I want you to say hi to coach Wes,

0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:47.599

0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:25.600
<v Speaker 3>she didn't want to embrace the coach's wife role. But

0:13:25.720 --> 0:13:30.760
<v Speaker 3>now she's fully involved. She's in my dugout, doing my.

0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:33.520
<v Speaker 7>She's writing my line up down on the board for me.

0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:36.359

0:13:44.880 --> 0:13:47.520
<v Speaker 3>I when I'm there on the field, I'm coached. When

0:13:47.720 --> 0:13:49.680
<v Speaker 3>I get into the car, I take my hat off.

0:13:49.679 --> 0:13:51.400
